  1. 1952 last year for the outside spare tire cover, 1937 the instrument panel was moved to in front of the driver.
  2. That same car was featured in Terras fönster Nr 7 1953, celebrating Royal Swedish Automobile Club's 50 years anniversary: https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/terras-fonster-nr-7/ (8:15-, 8:36-)
  3. Citroën Model TL Drophead Coupé https://www.citroen-5hp.ch/en/mod/model_TL.htm
  4. Photo taken 1.1.1929 or later, when the cinema theatre Regina was opened in Helsinki. It changed name in February 1933 to Unika. The place today:https://www.google.com/maps/@60.1758634,24.9510197,3a,75y,114.59h,85.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suMJcjSVLyOLRRJMzTGI2_A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu In fact there is a small movie theatre even today in the building, last year I saw a small independent film there. The house was the largest apartment buildning in the Finish capital when it was ready in the 1920s, it inhabitated more people than some older small towns like Naantali or Uusikaarlepyy.
  5. Charles Montier and his mechanic at the 1923 Le Mans https://www.hemmings.com/stories/montier-ford-first-le-mans/
  6. In fact Ian Fleming was racing driver Donald Healey's co-pilot on the 1932 Alpine Trial https://www.classicandsportscar.com/features/driving-donald-healeys-monte-winning-invicta-low-chassis https://scarfandgoggles.wordpress.com/2015/12/09/flemings-first-assignment/
  7. Model T Tudor and Fordor in front of a fresh apartment block in Kallio, then 1927 the working class district in Helsinki. The Tudor seems a bit newer, equipped with bumbers. Is there a Roman number II on it's door, indicating it was a Taxi-cab? Ford Model T would have more likely belonged to the cheaper class III. Maybe the older Fordor at least was owned by the building contractor. Practical with a closed car for visiting building sites even in the winter as in the photo.
  8. I think now that body is by Gläser. More information on the German small Fords of the 30s:https://www.classicandsportscar.com/news/csc-features/ford-eifel-a-sharper-c
  9. German 1935-36 Ford Eifel with 1,2 Litre engine with a open body by a unknown coachbuilder
